 A distillation column that separates a binary mixture of components A,

A distillation column that separates a binary mixture of components A, B and C. The feed mixture consists of combination component A and B, along with another mixture of component B and C that constitutes 97% of the latter mixture. The feed flow rate for mixture A and B is 5500kg/hr. The distillation column produces a top stream consisting only of component A, which flows out at a rate equal to half the flow rate of the mixture of component B and C. The second output stream is a mixture of all three components, with a flow rate of 1000kg/h and component A is 70%. The bottom stream contains 40% of Component C and 60% of Component B, which is 90% of the total from feed flow rate of component C exit at bottom streams. Construct the process flow sheet to determine i) Feed stream of mixture B and C ii) Top output stream iii) Third output/bottom stream
